Dust

[00:01.07] I was made from the ashes,

[00:03.34] I was part of the earth.

[00:06.59] And I could stay in ground or find the way out

[00:08.87] And shake off the dirt.

[00:12.92] I cried to my Maker, and He saved my soul.

[00:15.69] And I’m headed to the city with the streets of gold

[00:18.96] Far on the opposite side of the setting sun.

[00:24.49] I’m rising up,

[00:27.27] My soul is on fire.

[00:28.78] Nothing’s got a hold on me.

[00:31.04] I’m rising up—

[00:33.82] Up from the rubble.

[00:35.33] I was drowning, but now I’m free.

[00:38.64] My chains are broken;

[00:40.41] I am a better man.

[00:41.92] I found my way to the promised land.

[00:45.69] I’m not who I was;

[00:48.96] I’m rising up from the dust.

[00:53.50] ♪

[01:05.43] Like a diamond under pressure,

[01:08.21] Like metal to the flame,

[01:11.49] I was broken down, but I’m not broken now.

[01:14.52] I’m stronger from all the pain.

[01:17.80] The rivers that I cross are gonna wash me clean.

[01:20.84] And the summits that I’m on will help my blind eyes see

[01:23.89] Far on the opposite side,

[01:27.66] And though it’s a slow climb.

[01:29.43] I’m rising up,

[01:32.19] My soul is on fire.

[01:33.70] Nothing’s got a hold on me.
